A marriage proposal can be incredibly romantic if done right. It can also be embarrassing, scary, and regrettable. Here are some things to consider when choosing a venue to propose.

1. Practical considerations

Maybe you have this great idea of ​​how to propose. You have been planning it for so long that you can recite it while you sleep. This is good. It means that you are definitely ready to take this step. But have you considered the little things?

If you are going to kneel, what will you be kneeling on? It’s a small thing that can make a big difference. Make sure you know your environment and how it will affect the environment and deliverability of your proposal. You don’t want to propose a place where she can’t hear you due to a lot of background noise, but you also don’t want to propose in a room so quiet that everyone will hear her.

Which brings us to the next vital consideration: how public do you really want to make the proposal? There are different levels of “public”. You know your partner and you should be able to determine what you would be comfortable with. For some, the idea of ​​a proposal in front of friends and family would be welcome; for others, the idea can be terrifying. Doing a wedding proposal in any kind of public setting puts both of you in the spotlight and puts a lot of pressure on your partner to say yes. Remember, the more public the proposal, the higher the stakes. It takes a special kind of woman to really enjoy a wedding proposal on live television, for example.

2. Do the low

When dreaming about the location of your divine proposal, be sure to take into account your girlfriend’s real likes and dislikes. You might like to go to Mets games, but is that something she loves, too? A proposal on horseback will be a beautiful memory for an equestrian, and seeing you overcome your fear of horses to do it will make you love it forever.

Ask your friends and sisters what they think you would like. It’s okay to notify them of the proposal. Asking them for advice will make them feel special and give you a way to find out what your girlfriend is really dreaming of. You may also be able to tell if she is already thinking of getting married or not by talking to her closest friends.

3. You plus me = us

What rituals and traditions have you performed in your relationship? What place does “together” mean to the two of you? If she’s on a regular couch date for movies and candy corn, it’s a great time to propose. If you go on an annual trip to Comic Con together, why not propose to her while having fun in superhero costumes? If it is a place that represents you both, it is a good location for the proposal.

What makes you think about your future together? Are you looking at houses together? Adopting a dog? Anything that is already underscoring the permanence of your relationship gives you the opportunity to ask the question in style.

4. How do you really feel?

The most important consideration in any proposal is the sentiment behind it. You could both be standing knee-deep in quicksand under a Charlie Brown storm with colds to match, but if you let her know that she means more to you than anything else in the world and you want to have colds with her for the rest of your life. life, you have made a romantic proposal. True romance is born in the heart, not in the details.
